This is just a random watch I found on eBay that was dirt cheap, but a titanium cased kinetic model. It was non-working. I had another kinetic watch that I was planning on changing the capacitor on and wanted a watch to practice on that I wasn’t worried about breaking.

All went well in the end, but this watch had an unwelcome surprise for me…

    *5M43, not 5M42. This movement has day and date, not just date like on the 5M42.
